A Las Vegas algorithm, like randomized quicksort, uses a source of
randomness to make certain decisions. However its output is
unaffected by the randomness. So a function
> f :: RandomGen g => g -> a -> b
implementing a Las-Vegas-Algorithm 'looks' like a pure function,
ignoring its first argument and depending solely on its second
argument. What is an idiomatic way to implement such a function? I
believe, Monads are too linear and strict.
I believe this would be a good place to apply "implicit configurations".

Let me know if it solves your problem. What I recall of the paper is that it should work nicely for your situation.
